Do you ever feel a little stuck in your comfort zone? Or maybe in the slowing down of the pandemic, you have found it hard to activate your life again and live with intentionality. It is a gift to have those places of comfort, but I want to ensure that our comfort zone doesn’t turn into stagnant living. God did not place us here to be comfortable but to live a faith-filled life of trusting Him and joining in where He is moving.

Today I have three tips for conquering your comfort zone: Reach, Release, and Routine. First, we make the choice to increase our reach and take the step to move beyond where we are comfortable. That first step doesn’t have to be a big step, but the stretching prepares us for movement. Then, we have to release the things that are holding us back. Where is God already moving in your life and inviting you to lean into Him? It can be scary to let go of your spaces and places of comfort, but we have a faithful God who we can trust as we take these steps of faith. 

Finally, we get to choose to create a routine of stretching and going a little further. Routine stretching involves a practice of saying yes and choosing obedience over comfort. God loves you too much to leave you where you are, and it’s a beautiful life He has planned for you! 

Are you ready to conquer your comfort zone and live out the life God has for you? Let’s step out together! 

Take the incremental steps of reaching past your comfort zone.
Release your fears and lean into God’s strength, you will experience growth as you push through the discomfort.
Start a routine today to help you consistently reach and release as you step out of your comfort zone.
